“…Although researchers have speculated about the possible presence of externalities from IT usage, few studies have explored this phenomenon empirically (McKinsey, 2002;Lin, 2009). Using archival data on 30 OECD countries from 2000 to 2009, our analysis presents new evidence for the under-studied association between IT investments and productivity at the macro level.…”

“…Second, on the empirical front, our more recent data enables an assessment of IT-induced externalities that might not be prominent in the pre-or early Internet eras for which prior studies had produced mixed or inconclusive results (OECD, 2000;Stiroh, 2002). Third, while most existing studies on the topic focus on the U.S. (Stiroh, 2002;Han et al, 2011), our investigation into 30 OECD countries (including the U.S.) provides a broader perspective and addresses the shortage of cross-county studies on the association between macro characteristics and the economic value of IT (Lin, 2009). Finally, our measure of IT capital includes not only computer hardware but also software and telecommunication equipment.…”

“…Responding to the claim made by McKinsey (2002) about the missing correlation between productivity and IT investments, Martinsons and Martinsons (2002) urge researchers to explore IT value beyond efficiency (Lin andShao, 2000, 2006b;Lin and Chiang, 2011) and factor contributions (Brynjolfsson and Hitt, 1995) and to focus on the effects of IT on innovations. McAfee and Brynjolffson (2008) also promote this innovation channel of IT value by arguing that "IT serves two distinct roles-as a catalyst for innovative ideas and as an engine for delivering them."…”

The impacts of information technology (IT) on total factor productivity (TFP) are assessed through an integrative framework of IT-induced externalities and IT-leveraged innovations. Based on network externalities and endogenous growth theory, our study aims to reconcile the seeming discrepancy between the recent observed evidence and the prediction by neoclassical growth theory. We argue that computerization has reshaped the competitive landscape into a network economy with IT-induced externalities that benefit not only IT purchasers but also other stakeholders. Moreover, IT is a platform technology that can leverage innovations to enhance the technological level of production process. Consequently, these two factors of IT-induced externalities and IT-leveraged innovations exert positive impacts on TFP, suggesting IT plays a more pivotal role than input consumption and accumulation that neoclassical growth theory assumes for IT. We use panel data from 30 Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries over the period of 2000 to 2009 to empirically test hypotheses on this IT-TFP link. Implications are drawn from our findings for future research to measure IT's contributions at the macro level more accurately, and policymakers are urged to cultivate IT's positive impacts on TFP to help sustain long-term economic growth.

“…Por exemplo, Beccalli (2007) mostra que a relação entre os investimentos em TI e a melhoria do lucro ou eficiência dos bancos é pouco significativa e, por outro lado, o impacto dos diferentes tipos de investimentos em TI (hardware, software e serviços) no desempenho do banco é mista. Portanto, apesar da evolução sobre o assunto, o paradoxo da produtividade ainda é uma das motivações recorrentes para se justificar o interesse pelo entendimento dos efeitos da TI nas empresas (Gartner, Zwicker, & Rödder, 2009;Lin, 2009;Mendonça, Freitas, & Souza, 2009;Brynjolfsson & Saunders, 2010). Isso se deve, em parte, ao fato dos resultados das pesquisas não serem conclusivos, sendo assim, são necessários mais esforços para a compreensão desse fenômeno (Brynjolfsson & Yang, 1996;Ferreira & Ramos, 2005;Ho & Mallick, 2010;Laurindo, Shimizu, Carvalho, & Rabechini, 2001;Martín-Oliver & Salas-Fumás, 2008;Moraes, Bobsin, & Lana, 2006;Rai, Patnayakuni, & Patnayakuni, 1997).…”

RESUMOApesar de ser inegável a transformação proporcionada pela Tecnologia da Informação (TI) para a sociedade, a compreensão dos seus efeitos ainda é objeto de estudo. Este artigo aborda o impacto das despesas com TI na eficiência do setor bancário no Brasil. A novidade deste trabalho é que ele utiliza uma segmentação do setor bancário de tal modo que uma das pressuposições da técnica empírica não é violada. A amostra conta com 37 bancos, os quais representam cerca de 70% dos ativos do Sistema Financeiro Nacional e que são agrupados em três categorias: Varejistas, Atacadistas e Especializados em Crédito. Por meio da técnica de análise envoltória de dados, os resultados mostram que a TI tem impacto distinto na eficiência dos segmentos bancários. Os resultados da pesquisa revelam que as despesas em TI parecem importar mais para a eficiência dos bancos varejistas do que para a eficiência dos bancos nos outros dois segmentos.

“…, [41], the author found that in IS journals, ICT adoption and ICT use/implementation are the major topics in ICTD research. ICT Impact, on the other hand, is more popular in IS publication compared other sources see [41, p. 351].…”

Despite a huge number of Information and Communications Technology for Development (ICTD) research so far, little is known about the landscape of published articles in Information Systems (IS) literature. This paper systematically reviews extant ICTD research published in the IS field from 1980-2016. The author systematically analyzed 192 articles published in A* and A-rank IS journals and explored which theoretical lenses, contexts, units of analysis, types of technology, and research methods dominate extant research in the field. As such, this present work provides a unique snapshot of the current research landscape that can help future ICTD field progress.
